Randie helped us go through the process of buying a coop in Hartsdale, NY. She was knowledgeable, she was kind, she was helpful, and she kept us informed of what ever we needed to know. You could not ask for more. We recommend her highly. We know that Randie is good, because we can compare her with the lawyer we uses for the sale of our coop in Brooklyn. That man was not helpful, he was not informative, and he was not nice, he even requested more money than the agreed amount at the closing. If we knew Randie Semel first we would never have used that lawyer in Brooklyn.

I had the best experience with Russel Fayer who assisted me with the sale of my house in New Rochelle, when I was living in Africa. He provided me the fastest and most accurate advice, took the time to explain what was not always obvious to me and spent a lot of time to assist me with issues that were not always of his responsibility. I would definitely recommend him as a Real Estate Lawyer.

Technically-sophisticated in offering electronic exchange of documents in addition to exchanging printed paper (client's choice). Highly recommended.

In an 8 year contract law case, Ms. Alberga was instrumental in an estate case that was dragged from Surrogates to Supreme Court to 2nd Appellate and NY Court of Appeals. Then again on a different issue (same estate) from Surrogates to 2nd appellate. There were approximately 8 decisions for which the courts agreed and affirmed with the facts supported by law that Ms. Alberga laid out in her briefs and summary judgements. Ms. Alberga was not only professional, she was extremely supportive and responsive to questions and concerns. If she needed to followup, she jumped through many hurdles to make sure she was following the law in the best defense of her client. Her client is truly grateful to have found Ms. Alberga for representation during a very difficult and trying time. Thank you Ms. Alberga, God bless you!

Anna has proven to go over and above the standard for an attorney-client relationship. Besides being approachable, easy to talk to, Anna makes herself accessible to her clients 24/7 and responds immediately to any inquiry. I find her to be extremely knowledgeable, in every aspect. Exceptionally professional and clearly cares about the difference she makes in her client's life.

I am a company Vice President. Kim Berg defended our company in a complicated employee action. She was recommended to me by another lawyer and I am forever grateful for that recommendation. Kim and her company operate under the highest level of ethics. Firstly, unlike other law firms, she will only pursue cost-generating activity by her firm as aspects of the case become relevant. Secondly, she is clear, direct, and acts with a confidence backed up by her diligent study and examination of fact and opportunity. She will amaze you with her supreme attention to detail and memory of each detail, person and scenario. Thirdly, she is clever. She knows her area inside out and will advise you on possibilities and course of action. She is pragmatic, respectful and is impressive to everyone who encounters her. Her skill is unsurpassed and she minimizes stress during a time that will be stressful for all. Most importantly, there are many factors that can sway a case one way or another for good or bad. With Kim , you will know that she has led you to arrive at the best outcome possible . She shines head and shoulders above her opposing lawyers and is a consummate professional. If you want to save money but not save on professional representation, Kim is your lawyer.

this guy not only helped me to open and organize my business (the head company is located in Kazakhstan) in US but also told me everything about how to build a business which would be minimally taxed. at first I thought he looked too young to be a good lawyer but then he turned out to be one of the most knowledgeable people I met in my entire life. also speaks a great deal of languages. another great thing about him is that he doesn't charge as much as those big law firms do. I'd recommend him to anyone

I did a google search on finding a lawyer in this area as I do not live here. A family member was being held at the Westchester County Jail & needed representation. Mr. Siano consulted with me via telephone & gave me advice on what I should do to assist my family member. Mr. Siano called the county clerk & obtained information regarding the case & gave me all the information I needed to help. He was kind & showed compassion towards our situation & gave expert advise without meeting me in person. After the ordeal was over, Mr. Siano even called me to check on our well-being to ensure we were ok. Fortunately, for our situation, we did not require a personal lawyer. I would highly recommend Mr. Siano to anyone who needs a lawyer as he was highly professional, kind & knowledgeable in his field of expertise. I also want to thank Mr. Siano for his help & his compassion he showed towards our situation.-SG

This firm and Mr. Krieger were amazing with assisting my husband and I with the purchase of our co-op. We had no idea what flip tax or anything was, since this was our first ever purchase, and they showed patience and were extremely knowledgeable. We almost made the wrong decision and Mr. Krieger aided us in deciding the best place for our money. I highly 1000% recommend them.
